An Estate in China.

The estate showed three or four generations
Of agricultural enterprise. Oldest were the
stumps Of the coffee, which was put in forty
years ago, made money fast and its day was
over. Then came the quinine. Tracts of
this plant, the cinchona, presented wonder
full beauty. The large leaves of both colors
were as perfect in form and apparently in
iber as though the tree had lifetime be-
fore it. Some of them were deep red, the
rest were a glossy green. Each tree was
bouquet without blossom. Their colors
can be felt but not told. The planter is
stripping off the bark regardlessly. The
peeled trunks were bound with straw to heal
and protect their wounds. So long as the
trees stand it he strips off another skin after
six months; and that second bark is finer
than the first. When no longer this out
rageous treatment is profitable he will dig up
the tree and get the final, an excellent medi-
cinsl scrape, from the roots
Then perish the medicine crop, which, for
these flaming trees, will be next year-ham-
ing because they are forced to live too fast
and the interspersed tea bushes, now low,
then higher, will take place as the main if not
sole plant of the planters care. Scattered
among all these were trunks, directly out of
which by tough stems hung heavy dark
crimson pods, the bulky front of the choco-
late tree, cacoa. But of all these and other
plants tea is the main agricultural expecta-
ton, not only of this estate but of nearly all
the tropical orient.-Anna Ballard in Chi
cago News.

The villages of the West.

had a talk recently with Massachusetts,
man, who has been west on prospecting
tour He said: Il have been astounded in go
ing through the western country to note the
remarkable stage of improvements which
they have attained If you get off the cars
at any town of 5000 or 5000 inhabitants or
larger, you will find yourself in the midst of
a civilization that is equal to any of the great
cities of the east You find electric lights,
perfect telephone and telegraph district mes
senger service, modern improvements in the
way of sanitary drainage, street cars, fine
public buildings and perfect fire service
Looking the place over you will find build
ings of modern construction, finely equipped,
possibly with elevators and with all the mod
ern improvements Such a town is as far ahead
of New England place of the same size as
anything you can imagine. 1t took me some
time to realize the conditions and to figure out
the causes from which they resulted. The
real fact seems to be that these western peo-
pie are getting the benefits of all the improve
ments and inventions and progress of the
older civilization. The cars on the western
railroads are more luxurious than those of
the older lines in the east. Railroads are
built on a scale of improvement much finer.
1t would do the people of the east great good
if they could he transplanted out into the

A Use for COrp-cobs.

Deep gullies can be kept ont of
'washy' land only by closing the little
waterways after each heavy rain. De-
lay makes the work greater, not only
because the larger gully will require
more material, but smaller gullies will
form toward it which must be closed,
and which make it more difficult to
retain distractions in the larger gully.
For closing small waterways, corn-cobs
from the feeding-hoors serve an excel
lent purpose. These are usually waters
soaked, or soon become so, and then the
water will not move them. They do
not interfere with blowing or harrow :
ing. The plow or harrow will pass
through them, and remove very few
from their places, to which they can be
returned easily. If brush is used it
must be staked down, and either plow
OF harrow will pull the stakes and
brush from their places. If more solid
distractions are opposed to the water,
they suffer all the greater from the pas.
sage of implements. Many farmers
neglect to fill small wash-outs after the
fall rains. and. of course. fail to get
them filled before the spring freshets
begin, and before the washing can be
stopped large gullies are formed. If
cobs are placed in the wash-outs late in
the fall, they will become SO compacted
and firmly fixed until spring. that even
the heavy spring rains will not remove
them, while the winter thaws will bring
enough soil to the water way to fill the
crevices between them, and thus aid in
lillirg the gully.-American Agricul-

DRUNKENNESS NO EXCUSE.
A BOstOnian Who Stoned a Car Sen
fenced to a Years Imprisonment.

BOSTON, Feb. 22-PaIrick Carroll is q
pleasant, good looking young man.
He was arraigned in the Cam bridge
Municipal Court on charge of throw
ing stones at u Cambridge horse car du'
ring the riot of Sunday evening.
Il am guilty. Judge" said he, ''but
was drunk, and didn't know what l was
doing
And have pity on me and his babies.
cried Mrs. Carroll; "he is all there is De-
tween me and the poor house"
In pronouncing sentence Judge Orcutt
said: ''If there is one thing which has
been settled in the criminal courts OF
this country, it is that drunkenness is
no excuse for crime. A man is just as
liable for a crime committed while
drunk as while sober, although the fact
of his condition may sometimes weigh
in mitigation Of sentence. In this case,
however, it might have been an assault
with intent to kill. The man who
throws stone of the size that this man
did at car in which are many passen'
gers, ladies and children, and might
have caused death, may fairly be called
guilty of an assault with intent to kill
Although the result does not turn out
to be so serious, it is the same ofense
Ii is serious one, and should be pun
ished severely.
1T has come to pretty pass that peo.
pie in a civilized community cannot
travel in railroad cars without running
the risk of an attack of this kind. In
this case propose to impose sentence
that the defendant will remember and
one which will be lesson to others
who may have an idea of committing a
like crime.
Carroll was sentenced to one year at
the House of Correction.
